OFF-LINE SIGNATURE AUTHENTICATION USING RADIAL BASIS FUNCTION
Abstract
A system is proposed that considers minimal features using subpattern analysis which leads to less response time in a real time scenario. Using training samples, with a high degree of certainty, the minimum variance quadtree components [MVQC] of a signature for a person are listed to be applied on a testing sample. Initially the experiment was conducted on wavelet decomposed information for a signature. The non-MVQCs and core components were analyzed. To characterize the local details Gaussian-Hermite moment was applied. Later Hu moments were applied on the selected subsections. The summation values of the subsections are provided as feature to radial basis function [RBF] and feed forward neural network classifiers. Results indicate that the RBF classifier yielded 7% false rejection rate and feed forward neural network classification technique produced 9% false rejection rate. Promising results were achieved, by experimenting on the list of most prominent minimum variance components which are core components using RBF.
